Speaker 1 (00:00):
I thank Scott chan An Hour two Sean Hannity Show,
Toll Free, it's eight hundred and nine to four one
Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
One of the things that I've always wanted conservatism to
represent is I want conservatives or conservatism to be looking
out for working men and women. And that's why I
(00:23):
think it is so phenomenally important and frankly an opportunity
we've never seen in our lifetime. What is being put
in place for working men and women and opportunities for
them who achieved the American dream. Maybe it's because of
how I grew up. Maybe it's because my grandparents, all
(00:44):
four of them, came from Ireland and they were dirt poor.
Maybe it's because my parents both grew up very poor.
Maybe it's because my balledictorian and high school mother, you know,
couldn't go to college and became a prison guard and
worked sixteen hour shifts pretty much your entire adult life,
so she died at a relatively young age. Or my
father that worked as a family corp probation officer and
(01:07):
fought in World War Two, lost his mother when he
was born from complications for his birth and then worked
as a waiter on weekends. Maybe maybe maybe it comes
from that or my own working roots, which started at
eight with a paper out twelve years old every Friday, Saturday,
Sunday night washing dishes, then becoming a cook and a
bus boy, waiter, bartender, and ten years in construction. But
(01:31):
I really care about working men and women. I view
them as the backrup bone of this country. I mean,
we're very proud of the fact that we have so many,
so many truckers that call this program. They're they're out
on the roads every day. Every single store you go
to they did the store shows would be empty but
for their contribution to the supply chain. Uh, every you know,
(01:53):
I go. I love going shopping. I don't know why.
When I go shopping, people always stop and ask me
why are you here? And I look at them look
at me. I like to eat. We all like to eat.
But I like to go shopping. And I actually it's
a great barometer because I get to talk to people.
But you think of the every single person that serves
(02:13):
us in our lives, the farmers that do the farming,
and we have such a small percentage of our population
that feeds the entire country and frankly, feeding half the
world than are ranchers. They do a great job producing
the meat that we all like to eat. And I
just like where we're headed economically. I like the fact
(02:36):
that you know, thirteen to fifteen trillion dollars in committed
manufacturing money Donald Trump has been able to secure after
beating widely panned for his tariff trade negotiations, and everybody
predicting doom and gloom, and none of which happened, none
of which happened. Just the opposite happened. We have trade
(02:58):
deal after trade deal after trade deal after trade deal,
and after we've been taken advantage of and abused frankly
and ripped off frankly. You know, now the president's fighting
for farmers and fighting for everybody in between. But you
know that twelve fifteen trillion dollars, whatever the money is
in committed investments in manufacturing, well that that's going to be.
(03:19):
We're going to make our own pharmaceuticals. We've been far
too dependent on other countries for that. God forbid, we
have some type of COVID like emergency again in our lives.
It's also good we're producing our own rare earth minerals
and magnets, which are going to be very critical. It's
critical to manufacturing, it's critical for our pentagon, it's critical
(03:40):
for national security and national defense. Same with semiconductor chips.
We're bringing automobile manufacturing back with fifteen trillion dollars. What
does that mean to all of you? It means high
paying career jobs in industries that we've pretty much given
up on, and we're bringing all these jobs home. And
(04:00):
then we cannot even begin to calculate how many high
paying career jobs will be created in the energy sector anyway,
how deep, how profound is this and how is it
going to impact your life?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
We invited on US State Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke
Rollins's with us one of the things that nobody really
took note of. And we'll get to the European Union
trade deal in a second. My understanding is Australia now
has agreed to take American beef, which is great for
American ranchers, and they had not imported American beef since
(04:35):
mad Cow, which was what in what year two thousand
and three?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's right, got twenty years ago?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Crazy? Right?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's insane and that every single one of these deals,
the President is thinking about American agriculture, American beef, American
products made in America, American manufacturers. Give us some of
the details and specificity on how this is going to
impact really the people that do make the country great,
(05:04):
the people that work hard every day.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, that's right, Sean, and I love the intro on that.
I couldn't agree with you more. I think when President
Trump came down that escalator almost ten years ago and
began to talk about returning power to the people, draining
the swamp, and ensuring that we are putting America first,
I don't know that really many of us who'd been
(05:27):
working in this world for a long time really understood
how to execute that, really understood that what he brought
to the table was a game changer. What he brought
to the table was frankly, saving the American dream and
the American experiment. And that's what he's doing, and that's
what he's done. And having been his first White House
as his Domestic policy chief, building the America First Policy
(05:48):
Institute and the intervening four years and now serving as
his Secretary of Agriculture, I've really had a front row
seat to almost the entire journey, and I will tell
you firsthand that it is truly revolutionary. I think what
his leadership has brought and what he is doing to
your point, for the real average American man and woman,
(06:11):
and to take that American dream into every corner of
this beautiful country. And that's what he's done. So on
the ag side, you know, he called me about being
a Secretary of Agriculture. I'll never forget. It was a
Saturday morning, right before Thanksgiving. I was on my way
to an Aggie Auburn football game and got the news
that he wanted me for this slot. And I was
(06:31):
so excited to fight for our farmers, to make sure
agriculture gets a seat at the table and continues to
drive the narrative. What I didn't realize Sean at the
time was had obviously always supported his we need to
realign the world economy, we need to renegotiate the trade deals.
What I didn't realize on November twenty third of last
year before I took this job was just at how
(06:55):
extraordinary a disadvantage our farmers and ranchers and our products
have on the world stage. Leading up to Trump term two,
the average tariff across the world on American products American
ag products is about fifteen percent. What we charge agriculture
products coming into America is only on average five percent.
(07:15):
The men and women who are most hurt by that
are those that feed and fuel and clothe the nation
and frankly the world. So as he has rolled out
when after when the UK, the EU, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam.
I mean, it's one win after another, but I sincerely
believe well, the American people obviously are the most have
(07:38):
the most to gain from his leadership and his bold vision.
But our farmers and ranchers are the ones who will
ultimately be able to build a life that they have
been We've been losing our farmers and ranchers for so long.
But that changed on the President's Liberation Day. It really
changed when it came down the escalator ten years ago.
But then when we really began to fight, which was
(07:59):
Liberation Day February in the Rose Garden of this year,
and now we're beginning to see the results of that.
It's going to change the trajectory of the country forever.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Let me juxtapose this with another argument and another initiative
that the President is involved in, and that's the MAHA movement.
And one of the arguments that have been made is
that maybe America has historically used too many pesticides and hormones.
But we're making a lot of changes in that and
(08:30):
that area as well, are we not, and at least
giving people choices right.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Absolutely well, And it's funny you bring that up. I
don't know that was on our slate to discuss. Bobby
Kennedy and I are doing another press conference together announcing
another six states that have submitted and I have approved
waivers to stop using taxpayer dollars in our food stamp
program to buy sugary drinks and junk food to feed ourselves.
When you've got a chronic health epidemic in this country
(08:57):
where three out of four of our adolescents can't pass
the military readiness test, like this is not just about
breaking our healthcare system, it's not just about eating healthy.
It's now a national security issue. So Bobby's leadership has
been extraordinary. We don't agree on everything, but we agree
on most things. And to your point, he has said
(09:17):
over and over, my job is to help make America
healthy again. But we can't do that without our farmers,
and we have to protect our farmers. So moving in
the direction of healthier food, ensuring that our food processors, etc.
Aren't using all the stuff they've been using forever, but
doing it in a way that supports our farmers, ensuring
(09:38):
that they actually can make money, can support their family,
can turn it over to their children and their grandchildren.
I think Bobby is a great partner in all of that,
and really he's talk about changing the game. I mean,
the President is the lead game changer, but Bobby Kennedy
is right behind, and he's been very open and very
willing to learn about our crop protection system, about how
(10:00):
important fertilizer is to feeding the world, but how we
can potentially begin to move toward healthier alternatives that will
be good for the farmers and hopefully even make them
more profitable in the future.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
There's got to be a balance to all of this,
because you're right, I mean, we have what percentage of
farmers and what percentage of the world do we actually feed?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I mean, listen, I'm sitting in front of my USDA
building right now in Washington talking to you. I'll go
in in just a minute. This US Department of Agriculture,
founded by Abraham Lincoln in eighteen sixty two, is the
people's department. At that point in America, I think you
had almost eighty percent of the country involved in the
agrarian in the agriculture industry. Today it's closer to five percent.
(10:44):
So part of what we're doing at USDA is ensuring
that all Americans understand how important this is, but also
that we're opening the aperture. We're opening the market to
new farmers. We're ensuring that rural America has the opportunity
to thrive, that the American dream can live there as well.
And just a few weeks ago, in front of USDA,
with Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi and Christy Nome and
(11:07):
some of our great governors, I announced that farm security
is national security. Unless we can feed and clothe ourselves,
America will no longer be the world superpower. That's how
important this is, and that's what we're working to change
and to build the infrastructure not just for the next
two or four ten years, but for the next two
hundred and fifty years for this country.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Quick break right back.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
We'll continue more with Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rawlins on the
other side, and then your calls coming up on this Monday,
eight hundred and ninety four one Sean. If you want
to be a part of the program, if you're ready
to get out of the media spin room, you come
to the right place. Is the Sean Hannity Show. Planning
(11:53):
a family vacation this summer? Well, the IRS may have
other plans for you. Now, if you have received any
IRS notice, do not ignore this. The IRS does have
the authority to revoke your passport.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
You need to call my friends at Rush Tax Resolution
right now. Eight hundred two nine nine eighty seventy seven.
And by the way, if you own a business and
are behind on payroll taxes, do not call the IRS
on your own. Why they have the power to shut
down your business and drain your bank account and come
after you personally. No, get the pros, get a Rush
(12:30):
Tax Resolution attorney on your side, and get protected today
before it's too late. Mention my name Sean Hannity, and
Rush will do a free IRS transcript investigation. They'll only
take your case if they know they can help you.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Period.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's eight hundred two nine nine eighty seventy seven. That's
eight hundred two nine nine eighty seventy seven. On the web,
it's Rush Tax Resolution dot com. All right, we continue
now with Agricultural Secretary Brook Rawlins is with us.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Let me ask this question because.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
When there was resistance or questions that were brought up
with other countries during these trade deals, and I have
had conversations with Howard Lucknik and Scott Vessant, and the
issues came up about American food and how it's produced,
et cetera, et cetera. At the end of the day,
(13:26):
I think almost every country opened the door to American
farmers and dairy and our ranchers and our meat and
so on on our poultry, et cetera. What were some
of their concerns or were they really kind of irrelevant
and overblown and they were just used as an excuse
(13:47):
to keep American products out of their markets.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Well, I love the question and let me answer it
with an anecdote. I went over to the UK within
forty eight hours of the first big deal being announced,
which as you know, was as the United Kingdom and
their press over there. You know, we don't love our
mainstream media here, but their press over there may even
be slightly worse, which is saying a lot. And they
had warned me, they said, Brook, when you go in
(14:12):
and do all the press gaggles, just be ready for
the onslaught and the attacks you're going to get. And
so sure enough, you know, I have the first press
gaggle in London. I just met at ten Downing talking
to my counterpart, the Secretary of Agriculture of the UK,
how we can continue to ship our beef and ethanol
and pork, et cetera into the UK. And the first question, well,
(14:33):
but you know your chicken is all chlorinated and we
don't want your chicken here in the UK. And I said, listen,
only five percent of our total fault tree production is
using any kind of coronated water for disinfectant. So and
even then that has been proven safe and reliable over
and over and over again. So this narrative a that
(14:56):
you all are feeding your people in the United Kingdom
just couldn't be more false. And it has to stop.
And so at the end of the day, what America
does do We have the most rigorous, the strongest regulatory
systems in the world to keep our people safe and
make sure our food is safe. So, for example, we
started the conversation on our beef in Australia. You know,
(15:18):
for more than twenty years Australia has said no thanks
to American beef, which is the best, the tastiest, the
most impressive beef produced in the entire world. Well, it
took Donald Trump to come in and say, listen, your
non tariff barriers, you're fake news that you've been using
to keep our American beef out of your country. That's
not going to stand any longer. I am the President
(15:38):
of the United States. I know how to negotiate deals.
I'm going to change this. And sure enough they changed it,
and now we're shipping American beef again into Australia. Now again,
does that mean we can't do things better here? Of course,
it means we can do things better. But to even
begin to say that our beef, our poultry, are wheat,
our soy beans, our corn, our tree nuts, our blue beet,
(16:00):
that they aren't safe, that they aren't good quality food,
the best, arguably in the world, is just false. And
that's a big narrative that I'm pushing back against too.
As I'm traveling internationally to all these countries.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh, I think it's great. I'm very happy.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's very cool when we get truckers that call this program,
we get ranchers that call this program farmers. I've had
people on tractors calling this program, and I just know,
and I'm grateful because I know how hard they work,
and I know that our store shows would be empty
without each piece of that supply chain. So and we
make the best products in the world. And I'm I'm
(16:38):
pretty much a meat and egg guy. That's about my
whole diet. We appreciated Brooke Rowin's agriculture secretary. Thank you
so much for being with us, Sean.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
It's an honor. God bless you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Hy twenty five till the top of the hour, eight
hundred and nine to four one.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Sean.
Speaker 1 (16:55):

forget it. All our friends at blinds dot com no

to lift a finger. She won't even put in a
light bulb for crying out loud. Anyway, you don't want
me putting in a light bulb. We all do what
we do best, and it's not me putting in blinds.
That's why I use blinds dot Com. No, my kids
would get annoyed with me. And then finally I got
so ticked off because, oh, you Dad, you don't do anything.
You don't do any of the work around here. I'm Mike.
(17:58):
I don't have time work four hundred jobs and I'm
working constantly, and so finally I just decided to prove
to them by panting rooms in the house. And they're like, oh,
Dad really knows what he's doing. I'm like, jeez, anyway,
but that's the beauty of blinds dot com. They give
you the choice. They have their blackout shades, their motorized options,
(18:19):
which I love, I hate those strings anyway, classic shutters.
They have window treatments for every room, every style, every budget,
and they even have shades for your outdoor space. And
they're just great to work with. And that's why nobody

I am when I saw the image of this woman
(19:05):
who was apparently now is return to the former Soviet
Union or Russia. Sorry, and this woman Holly, and she
tried to help out a guy that's getting the crap
beaten out of him by a mob, kicked in the head,
punched in the head, beaten in the head. I'm surprised
he doesn't have brain damage, she apparently does have something
(19:27):
going on cognitively as a result of the beatdown. If
you haven't seen the pictures of just had the brutality,
She didn't see it coming. Somebody just sneaks up on
her and knocked her out and hit her so hard
her face. I don't think I've ever seen a black
and blue that bad in my life or black and blues.
It looked like the orbital bone and you know, blow
(19:48):
the eye, you know that bone. Linda looked like it
was it was broken. I mean, it just is such
a tragedy. She's now spoken out. Here's what she said
to the Fox News channel.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I just want to say thank you so much to
everyone for all of the love, God support. It is
very humbling that you have said, your prayers, your blessings.
It's it's definitely what's keeping me going. And uh, you
have just brought back faith in humanity.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
H So God, bless you all.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I appreciate everything that you're doing for me.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
My family.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
It's been very very hard and I'm still recovering. I
still have a very bad brain trauma. And it's thank you,
thank you everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
It's it's so sad.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And this is what infuriated me, all the attention, all
the political mentions. Democrats only cared about one riot and
it wasn't even it was the quote insurrection. There were
five hundred and seventy four riots in the summer of
twenty twenty. The media, they lied to us. Democrats lied
(21:13):
to us. They said they were mostly peaceful. Dozens of
dead Americans, thousands of injured cops. It was nothing peaceful
about it. Billions in property damage. No Liz Cheney, no
Adam Kinsinger, no committee, no press, no just a vice
(21:33):
soon to be vice president saying that they're not going
to stop writing, shouldn't stop writing, and we're not going
to support stop supporting the rioters. So that is how
hypocritical Democrats are. You know, if they can't weaponize it
and turn it into a political issue or use it
to bloodg in Trump, then why bother talking about it?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
All Right, let's.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Get to Donna in New Joysey wants to pick a
bone with me a little bit about the issue of
the rush of hoax.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Donna, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Okay, glad to be on Yeah. I just kind of
feel like if we keep relitigating all these I mean,
let's face it, politicians are cropped all around. I know
of a few honest ones, good ones that I would trust.
But you know, it's just going to keep going back
and forth if we keep bringing it to the forefront.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
By the way, you know, I think one of the
more the most honest. This will make liberals heads explode.
And you think Donald Trump is the most raw and
most honest politicians ever.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
He didn't care. He says whatever is on his mind.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
He says whatever's on his mind. But he changes his
mind constantly, and like on.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
What you mean, like Harris, because he's negotiating. In the
course of the negotiation, you change your mind a lot.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I understand negotiating, but I feel like he changes his
mind on a lot of other things. And he says
he didn't say it, and he did say it. I mean,
we we all listen to it. But I feel like
you're station is not reaching across the aisle. I kind
of feel like we're not going to get anywhere unless
we cop quickly.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Talking about radio or TV.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Or both both both. That means, what.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Would you like me to do better? Because I want
to improve.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I feel like we need to quit calling each other names.
We're all Americans, so we shouldn't talk to say Republicans
like they do, or Dems like they do, or mag
Is like they do. Everybody ends up with the label
and then it just promotes hate. And I don't feel
like either.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Do you think I promote hate on the show?
Speaker 6 (23:40):
I do?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I do?
Speaker 6 (23:42):
I feel?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Give me a if you're going to make such a
severe allegation, which are I believe in freedom of speech?
Give me an example that I have shown hatred on
this program?
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Oh, I think not even just your program. I listened
to Widage all the time.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
No no, no, no, no no no, you're now you're.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You're and weaving if you when you make an allegation
that's severe, Okay, I want to give you a chance
to get specific. When have I ever promoted hate on
this program? Because I'm a Christian and if I'm promoting hate,
I need to stop it.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
You just did it by saying the Dems. Every time
you say the Dems.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I don't agree with the Democratic Party. I don't agree
with higher taxes, I don't agree with the Green New Deal.
I don't agree with I don't agree with the radicals
that are anti Israel and anti Semitic. I don't agree
with how they act on college campuses. You mean when
I was just talking about the people that were writing
in the summer of twenty twenty and the Democrats and
(24:41):
the media lying to us about they're mostly peaceful riots
that killed people and billions of property damage and thousands
of injured cops. I'm not allowed to be critical. That's hateful.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Letting me speak. You're desarting a whole group of people,
and it's not all just the Dems. People people who
disagree and whatever. People disagree with Trump, he either fires
them or he gets rid of them, or he exact retribution.
You know, I was a lifelong Republican and I'm a
(25:13):
born again Christian.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
But I'm the biggest victim of retribution. I would argue,
is Donald Trump really mean?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
You really bringing up You keep bringing up all the
stuff in the past, litigating everything as far back as possible.
Believe me, I think Trump can take care of himself. Yes,
he speaks his mind.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
They tried to put him in jail. They tried to.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
They first they conjured up a Russia hoax that didn't exist.
Then they tried to then they hurt four years of
his presidency by expanding the lie. Then they falsely valuated
mar A Lago, then they rated mar A Lago. Then
they they took a statute of limitations case on a
legal low disclosure and turned it into thirty four felon accounts.
(25:57):
So I mean, but I asked you a specific question.
Give me one example when I've been hateful.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
When you when you promote hate by lumping people together,
you are perpetuating where people talk about a group of
people like the Russians or the black people, or.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
The I don't talk about the Russians or the black people.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I'm using an example of when you lump people together.
And you know what I mean, you're a smart person.
When you lump people together, you're not reaching across the
aisle to get anyone to cooperate with each other. That's
promoting hate. You can't tell me that the Magis don't
hate the Dams.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I hear.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's not that I hate them, I just I think
their policies are destructive. Well, now, look, if you think
if you want me to be somebody I'm not, I
can't do that I'm not going to accept. I don't
believe we're under taxed. I think we're overtaxed. I don't
believe that the government should tell us what cars we
can put in our driveway. I don't think the government
should be telling us what washes are, and dryers and
(27:04):
straws and air condition as we should have you prove it,
I deiver everything.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
You don't really want me to say anything. You want
to keep talking.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I'm Linda.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I think I've been very fair allowing her to express
her views.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
But she's not being specific. Am I being fair?
Speaker 7 (27:20):
I would ask her to define hate. I think that's
the first problem. I don't think grouping people together and
lumping them together is a true definition of hate.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
No, I mean what if I said, now, ask her, what.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Is the true definition of hate?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
All right, what's your definition of hate?
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Well? How many people do you get to reach out
to you?
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I feel like you preach to the court.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
That's not an answer. What is your definition of hate?
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Defition of hate is one of your few stories about
a group of people that may not necessarily be true.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
No, that's called a lie. That's called a lie. Hate
is when you ill will we're ill forthcoming on another person.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's hate. When have I ever told something that's not true? True?
Give me an example.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Oh, I'm not talking about whether it's true or not.
I'm just talking about you keep bringing up the past.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
So if I tell well, I bring up the news
every day, and every day you've got radical Democrats that, frankly,
they're the ones saying the most hateful things on earth.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I can give you examples.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
This is a good example radical Democrats.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
They are radical.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Do you think, Mammy, you just said all the Magas
hate the Dems? What are the Magas? Isn't that lumping
people together? Do you want to move out of the glasshouse.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Like we're tag teaming those poor lady listen, just let
me out her. Look, I feel like we're talking in circles.
I hear what you're saying. I think that you Here's
what I'm going to give you. I'm gonna give you
a homework assignment.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I want you to listen and watch my shows, and
I want you to come up with your list of
examples of specific hate. And I think Linda's definition of
hate was better than yours. And if you think that
I'm hating on somebody, unfairly. Now, if I tell the
truth about either a Democrat or the media, or a
real story that's in the news that is not by
(29:07):
definition hateful, the radicalized Democrats that would institutionalize what I
believe to be Marxism, socialism, Mom Danni's, the Aocs, the
Jasmine Crocketts of the world. If you think that's hateful,
then we just have a political disagreement. That's not hateful. Okay,
(29:27):
so call me back.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Listen, I will. But how is it helpful when you
keep perpetuating the past?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's all, Okay, I bring the past up, but I
also bring it it's relevant to today.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Has to bring up the.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
Past because we have to learn from it if otherwise
we're doomed to repeat it. We're in a cyclical pell.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Like I told you the story, I just got done
explaining how in the summer of twenty twenty all these
riots took place, and the double standard when it comes
to Democrats and their obsession with January. But they didn't
care about the five hundred and seventy four riots. They
called it, we call they called it the Summer of Love,
and they said mostly peaceful. It wasn't mostly peaceful. Americans died,
(30:10):
cops injured, billions in property damage, and that nobody there
was no committee, there was no Liz Chening, no Adam Kinzinger.
That's hypocrisy to me. And my job is to give
you news, information and truth that you're not going to
get from any anybody else, I think in the media,
and I think it's one of the reasons, thanks to
all of you, that I've been somewhat successful. I got
(30:32):
to run. Appreciate the call. Eight hundred nine one, Shawn.
If you want to be a part of the program, the.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
for the final hour Free for All on the Sean
Hannity Shows. Back to our busy phones, tolfree, it is
eight hundred nine four one, Sean. If you want to
join us, tell us what's on your mind? Steve in
the Free State of Florida. Steve, how are you glad
(31:04):
you called?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
I'm good, John, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I had to thank you.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Thoughts for you. The first was I appreciate what the
Republicans and President Trump are doing, but trying to do
rebates back with the with the tariffs, but I would
much rather, And I know that times are tough, but
I would much rather see those funds go towards our
national debt. We constantly are doing refunds or or doge
(31:34):
is finding money. Why are we not paying that down
so that we can take care of our people better
in the future. I would love to see President Trump
just take that money and say we're paying down X
amount on this national debt.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I'd listen.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I would not mind if we're talking about trillions of
dollars if some of the money went to lower middle
income Americans and the rest went to paying down the debt.
I actually expect and anticipate with the largest tax increase
in history, and energy dominance policies that he's adopted, and
(32:11):
anywhere from what twelve to fifteen trillion dollars in manufacturing investment,
that we're going to see revenues explode. The challenge will
be keeping Congress and control and start paying down the
debt that way. It's very important to me. I don't
want to rob from our children and grandchildren, so I
stand with you. But there are a lot of Americans
(32:33):
that have suffered, you know, for the last four years.
I'd like to give them some relief. Notice, I'm taking
myself out of it. I don't want the money. I
don't need the six hundred dollars. They can keep it, okay,
but give it to people that you know. If family
of for making two hundred and fifty grand a year,
especially in big cities, is not a lot of money,
six hundred thousand dollars would mean a lot to them.
(32:55):
I want to give it to them, and I also
want to stop robbing our kids. I think we can
do both. Believe we can. Okay, Anyway, I do appreciate
it's a very thoughtful call.
I thank Scott chan An Hour two Sean Hannity Show,
Toll Free, it's eight hundred and nine to four one
Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
One of the things that I've always wanted conservatism to
represent is I want conservatives or conservatism to be looking
out for working men and women. And that's why I
(00:23):
think it is so phenomenally important and frankly an opportunity
we've never seen in our lifetime. What is being put
in place for working men and women and opportunities for
them who achieved the American dream. Maybe it's because of
how I grew up. Maybe it's because my grandparents, all
(00:44):
four of them, came from Ireland and they were dirt poor.
Maybe it's because my parents both grew up very poor.
Maybe it's because my balledictorian and high school mother, you know,
couldn't go to college and became a prison guard and
worked sixteen hour shifts pretty much your entire adult life,
so she died at a relatively young age. Or my
father that worked as a family corp probation officer and
(01:07):
fought in World War Two, lost his mother when he
was born from complications for his birth and then worked
as a waiter on weekends. Maybe maybe maybe it comes
from that or my own working roots, which started at
eight with a paper out twelve years old every Friday, Saturday,
Sunday night washing dishes, then becoming a cook and a
bus boy, waiter, bartender, and ten years in construction. But
(01:31):
I really care about working men and women. I view
them as the backrup bone of this country. I mean,
we're very proud of the fact that we have so many,
so many truckers that call this program. They're they're out
on the roads every day. Every single store you go
to they did the store shows would be empty but
for their contribution to the supply chain. Uh, every you know,
(01:53):
I go. I love going shopping. I don't know why.
When I go shopping, people always stop and ask me
why are you here? And I look at them look
at me. I like to eat. We all like to eat.
But I like to go shopping. And I actually it's
a great barometer because I get to talk to people.
But you think of the every single person that serves
(02:13):
us in our lives, the farmers that do the farming,
and we have such a small percentage of our population
that feeds the entire country and frankly, feeding half the
world than are ranchers. They do a great job producing
the meat that we all like to eat. And I
just like where we're headed economically. I like the fact
(02:36):
that you know, thirteen to fifteen trillion dollars in committed
manufacturing money Donald Trump has been able to secure after
beating widely panned for his tariff trade negotiations, and everybody
predicting doom and gloom, and none of which happened, none
of which happened. Just the opposite happened. We have trade
(02:58):
deal after trade deal after trade deal after trade deal,
and after we've been taken advantage of and abused frankly
and ripped off frankly. You know, now the president's fighting
for farmers and fighting for everybody in between. But you
know that twelve fifteen trillion dollars, whatever the money is
in committed investments in manufacturing, well that that's going to be.
(03:19):
We're going to make our own pharmaceuticals. We've been far
too dependent on other countries for that. God forbid, we
have some type of COVID like emergency again in our lives.
It's also good we're producing our own rare earth minerals
and magnets, which are going to be very critical. It's
critical to manufacturing, it's critical for our pentagon, it's critical
(03:40):
for national security and national defense. Same with semiconductor chips.
We're bringing automobile manufacturing back with fifteen trillion dollars. What
does that mean to all of you? It means high
paying career jobs in industries that we've pretty much given
up on, and we're bringing all these jobs home. And
(04:00):
then we cannot even begin to calculate how many high
paying career jobs will be created in the energy sector anyway,
how deep, how profound is this and how is it
going to impact your life?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Anyway?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
We invited on US State Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke
Rollins's with us one of the things that nobody really
took note of. And we'll get to the European Union
trade deal in a second. My understanding is Australia now
has agreed to take American beef, which is great for
American ranchers, and they had not imported American beef since
(04:35):
mad Cow, which was what in what year two thousand
and three?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
That's right, got twenty years ago?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Crazy? Right?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's insane and that every single one of these deals,
the President is thinking about American agriculture, American beef, American
products made in America, American manufacturers. Give us some of
the details and specificity on how this is going to
impact really the people that do make the country great,
(05:04):
the people that work hard every day.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Well, that's right, Sean, and I love the intro on that.
I couldn't agree with you more. I think when President
Trump came down that escalator almost ten years ago and
began to talk about returning power to the people, draining
the swamp, and ensuring that we are putting America first,
I don't know that really many of us who'd been
(05:27):
working in this world for a long time really understood
how to execute that, really understood that what he brought
to the table was a game changer. What he brought
to the table was frankly, saving the American dream and
the American experiment. And that's what he's doing, and that's
what he's done. And having been his first White House
as his Domestic policy chief, building the America First Policy
(05:48):
Institute and the intervening four years and now serving as
his Secretary of Agriculture, I've really had a front row
seat to almost the entire journey, and I will tell
you firsthand that it is truly revolutionary. I think what
his leadership has brought and what he is doing to
your point, for the real average American man and woman,
(06:11):
and to take that American dream into every corner of
this beautiful country. And that's what he's done. So on
the ag side, you know, he called me about being
a Secretary of Agriculture. I'll never forget. It was a
Saturday morning, right before Thanksgiving. I was on my way
to an Aggie Auburn football game and got the news
that he wanted me for this slot. And I was
(06:31):
so excited to fight for our farmers, to make sure
agriculture gets a seat at the table and continues to
drive the narrative. What I didn't realize Sean at the
time was had obviously always supported his we need to
realign the world economy, we need to renegotiate the trade deals.
What I didn't realize on November twenty third of last
year before I took this job was just at how
(06:55):
extraordinary a disadvantage our farmers and ranchers and our products
have on the world stage. Leading up to Trump term two,
the average tariff across the world on American products American
ag products is about fifteen percent. What we charge agriculture
products coming into America is only on average five percent.
(07:15):
The men and women who are most hurt by that
are those that feed and fuel and clothe the nation
and frankly the world. So as he has rolled out
when after when the UK, the EU, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam.
I mean, it's one win after another, but I sincerely
believe well, the American people obviously are the most have
(07:38):
the most to gain from his leadership and his bold vision.
But our farmers and ranchers are the ones who will
ultimately be able to build a life that they have
been We've been losing our farmers and ranchers for so long.
But that changed on the President's Liberation Day. It really
changed when it came down the escalator ten years ago.
But then when we really began to fight, which was
(07:59):
Liberation Day February in the Rose Garden of this year,
and now we're beginning to see the results of that.
It's going to change the trajectory of the country forever.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Let me juxtapose this with another argument and another initiative
that the President is involved in, and that's the MAHA movement.
And one of the arguments that have been made is
that maybe America has historically used too many pesticides and hormones.
But we're making a lot of changes in that and
(08:30):
that area as well, are we not, and at least
giving people choices right.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Absolutely well, And it's funny you bring that up. I
don't know that was on our slate to discuss. Bobby
Kennedy and I are doing another press conference together announcing
another six states that have submitted and I have approved
waivers to stop using taxpayer dollars in our food stamp
program to buy sugary drinks and junk food to feed ourselves.
When you've got a chronic health epidemic in this country
(08:57):
where three out of four of our adolescents can't pass
the military readiness test, like this is not just about
breaking our healthcare system, it's not just about eating healthy.
It's now a national security issue. So Bobby's leadership has
been extraordinary. We don't agree on everything, but we agree
on most things. And to your point, he has said
(09:17):
over and over, my job is to help make America
healthy again. But we can't do that without our farmers,
and we have to protect our farmers. So moving in
the direction of healthier food, ensuring that our food processors, etc.
Aren't using all the stuff they've been using forever, but
doing it in a way that supports our farmers, ensuring
(09:38):
that they actually can make money, can support their family,
can turn it over to their children and their grandchildren.
I think Bobby is a great partner in all of that,
and really he's talk about changing the game. I mean,
the President is the lead game changer, but Bobby Kennedy
is right behind, and he's been very open and very
willing to learn about our crop protection system, about how
(10:00):
important fertilizer is to feeding the world, but how we
can potentially begin to move toward healthier alternatives that will
be good for the farmers and hopefully even make them
more profitable in the future.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
There's got to be a balance to all of this,
because you're right, I mean, we have what percentage of
farmers and what percentage of the world do we actually feed?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I mean, listen, I'm sitting in front of my USDA
building right now in Washington talking to you. I'll go
in in just a minute. This US Department of Agriculture,
founded by Abraham Lincoln in eighteen sixty two, is the
people's department. At that point in America, I think you
had almost eighty percent of the country involved in the
agrarian in the agriculture industry. Today it's closer to five percent.
(10:44):
So part of what we're doing at USDA is ensuring
that all Americans understand how important this is, but also
that we're opening the aperture. We're opening the market to
new farmers. We're ensuring that rural America has the opportunity
to thrive, that the American dream can live there as well.
And just a few weeks ago, in front of USDA,
with Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi and Christy Nome and
(11:07):
some of our great governors, I announced that farm security
is national security. Unless we can feed and clothe ourselves,
America will no longer be the world superpower. That's how
important this is, and that's what we're working to change
and to build the infrastructure not just for the next
two or four ten years, but for the next two
hundred and fifty years for this country.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Quick break right back.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
We'll continue more with Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rawlins on the
other side, and then your calls coming up on this Monday,
eight hundred and ninety four one Sean. If you want
to be a part of the program, if you're ready
to get out of the media spin room, you come
to the right place. Is the Sean Hannity Show. Planning

Speaker 1 (12:45):
That's eight hundred two nine nine eighty seventy seven. That's
eight hundred two nine nine eighty seventy seven. On the web,
it's Rush Tax Resolution dot com. All right, we continue
now with Agricultural Secretary Brook Rawlins is with us.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Let me ask this question because.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
When there was resistance or questions that were brought up
with other countries during these trade deals, and I have
had conversations with Howard Lucknik and Scott Vessant, and the
issues came up about American food and how it's produced,
et cetera, et cetera. At the end of the day,
(13:26):
I think almost every country opened the door to American
farmers and dairy and our ranchers and our meat and
so on on our poultry, et cetera. What were some
of their concerns or were they really kind of irrelevant
and overblown and they were just used as an excuse
(13:47):
to keep American products out of their markets.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Well, I love the question and let me answer it
with an anecdote. I went over to the UK within
forty eight hours of the first big deal being announced,
which as you know, was as the United Kingdom and
their press over there. You know, we don't love our
mainstream media here, but their press over there may even
be slightly worse, which is saying a lot. And they
had warned me, they said, Brook, when you go in
(14:12):
and do all the press gaggles, just be ready for
the onslaught and the attacks you're going to get. And
so sure enough, you know, I have the first press
gaggle in London. I just met at ten Downing talking
to my counterpart, the Secretary of Agriculture of the UK,
how we can continue to ship our beef and ethanol
and pork, et cetera into the UK. And the first question, well,
(14:33):
but you know your chicken is all chlorinated and we
don't want your chicken here in the UK. And I said, listen,
only five percent of our total fault tree production is
using any kind of coronated water for disinfectant. So and
even then that has been proven safe and reliable over
and over and over again. So this narrative a that
(14:56):
you all are feeding your people in the United Kingdom
just couldn't be more false. And it has to stop.
And so at the end of the day, what America
does do We have the most rigorous, the strongest regulatory
systems in the world to keep our people safe and
make sure our food is safe. So, for example, we
started the conversation on our beef in Australia. You know,
(15:18):
for more than twenty years Australia has said no thanks
to American beef, which is the best, the tastiest, the
most impressive beef produced in the entire world. Well, it
took Donald Trump to come in and say, listen, your
non tariff barriers, you're fake news that you've been using
to keep our American beef out of your country. That's
not going to stand any longer. I am the President
(15:38):
of the United States. I know how to negotiate deals.
I'm going to change this. And sure enough they changed it,
and now we're shipping American beef again into Australia. Now again,
does that mean we can't do things better here? Of course,
it means we can do things better. But to even
begin to say that our beef, our poultry, are wheat,
our soy beans, our corn, our tree nuts, our blue beet,
(16:00):
that they aren't safe, that they aren't good quality food,
the best, arguably in the world, is just false. And
that's a big narrative that I'm pushing back against too.
As I'm traveling internationally to all these countries.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Oh, I think it's great. I'm very happy.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
It's very cool when we get truckers that call this program,
we get ranchers that call this program farmers. I've had
people on tractors calling this program, and I just know,
and I'm grateful because I know how hard they work,
and I know that our store shows would be empty
without each piece of that supply chain. So and we
make the best products in the world. And I'm I'm
(16:38):
pretty much a meat and egg guy. That's about my
whole diet. We appreciated Brooke Rowin's agriculture secretary. Thank you
so much for being with us, Sean.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
It's an honor. God bless you. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Hy twenty five till the top of the hour, eight
hundred and nine to four one.
Speaker 2 (16:55):

to lift a finger. She won't even put in a
light bulb for crying out loud. Anyway, you don't want
me putting in a light bulb. We all do what
we do best, and it's not me putting in blinds.
That's why I use blinds dot Com. No, my kids
would get annoyed with me. And then finally I got
so ticked off because, oh, you Dad, you don't do anything.
You don't do any of the work around here. I'm Mike.
(17:58):
I don't have time work four hundred jobs and I'm
working constantly, and so finally I just decided to prove
to them by panting rooms in the house. And they're like, oh,
Dad really knows what he's doing. I'm like, jeez, anyway,
but that's the beauty of blinds dot com. They give
you the choice. They have their blackout shades, their motorized options,
(18:19):
which I love, I hate those strings anyway, classic shutters.
They have window treatments for every room, every style, every budget,

I am when I saw the image of this woman
(19:05):
who was apparently now is return to the former Soviet
Union or Russia. Sorry, and this woman Holly, and she
tried to help out a guy that's getting the crap
beaten out of him by a mob, kicked in the head,
punched in the head, beaten in the head. I'm surprised
he doesn't have brain damage, she apparently does have something
(19:27):
going on cognitively as a result of the beatdown. If
you haven't seen the pictures of just had the brutality,
She didn't see it coming. Somebody just sneaks up on
her and knocked her out and hit her so hard
her face. I don't think I've ever seen a black
and blue that bad in my life or black and blues.
It looked like the orbital bone and you know, blow
(19:48):
the eye, you know that bone. Linda looked like it
was it was broken. I mean, it just is such
a tragedy. She's now spoken out. Here's what she said
to the Fox News channel.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I just want to say thank you so much to
everyone for all of the love, God support. It is
very humbling that you have said, your prayers, your blessings.
It's it's definitely what's keeping me going. And uh, you
have just brought back faith in humanity.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
H So God, bless you all.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I appreciate everything that you're doing for me.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
My family.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
It's been very very hard and I'm still recovering. I
still have a very bad brain trauma. And it's thank you,
thank you everyone.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
It's it's so sad.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
And this is what infuriated me, all the attention, all
the political mentions. Democrats only cared about one riot and
it wasn't even it was the quote insurrection. There were
five hundred and seventy four riots in the summer of
twenty twenty. The media, they lied to us. Democrats lied
(21:13):
to us. They said they were mostly peaceful. Dozens of
dead Americans, thousands of injured cops. It was nothing peaceful
about it. Billions in property damage. No Liz Cheney, no
Adam Kinsinger, no committee, no press, no just a vice
(21:33):
soon to be vice president saying that they're not going
to stop writing, shouldn't stop writing, and we're not going
to support stop supporting the rioters. So that is how
hypocritical Democrats are. You know, if they can't weaponize it
and turn it into a political issue or use it
to bloodg in Trump, then why bother talking about it?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
All Right, let's.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Get to Donna in New Joysey wants to pick a
bone with me a little bit about the issue of
the rush of hoax.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Donna, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Okay, glad to be on Yeah. I just kind of
feel like if we keep relitigating all these I mean,
let's face it, politicians are cropped all around. I know
of a few honest ones, good ones that I would trust.
But you know, it's just going to keep going back
and forth if we keep bringing it to the forefront.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
By the way, you know, I think one of the
more the most honest. This will make liberals heads explode.
And you think Donald Trump is the most raw and
most honest politicians ever.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
He didn't care. He says whatever is on his mind.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
He says whatever's on his mind. But he changes his
mind constantly, and like on.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
What you mean, like Harris, because he's negotiating. In the
course of the negotiation, you change your mind a lot.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
I understand negotiating, but I feel like he changes his
mind on a lot of other things. And he says
he didn't say it, and he did say it. I mean,
we we all listen to it. But I feel like
you're station is not reaching across the aisle. I kind
of feel like we're not going to get anywhere unless
we cop quickly.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Talking about radio or TV.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Or both both both. That means, what.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Would you like me to do better? Because I want
to improve.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I feel like we need to quit calling each other names.
We're all Americans, so we shouldn't talk to say Republicans
like they do, or Dems like they do, or mag
Is like they do. Everybody ends up with the label
and then it just promotes hate. And I don't feel
like either.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Do you think I promote hate on the show?
Speaker 6 (23:40):
I do?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I do?
Speaker 6 (23:42):
I feel?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Give me a if you're going to make such a
severe allegation, which are I believe in freedom of speech?
Give me an example that I have shown hatred on
this program?
Speaker 6 (23:53):
Oh, I think not even just your program. I listened
to Widage all the time.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
No no, no, no, no no no, you're now you're.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
You're and weaving if you when you make an allegation
that's severe, Okay, I want to give you a chance
to get specific. When have I ever promoted hate on
this program? Because I'm a Christian and if I'm promoting hate,
I need to stop it.
Speaker 6 (24:14):
You just did it by saying the Dems. Every time
you say the Dems.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I don't agree with the Democratic Party. I don't agree
with higher taxes, I don't agree with the Green New Deal.
I don't agree with I don't agree with the radicals
that are anti Israel and anti Semitic. I don't agree
with how they act on college campuses. You mean when
I was just talking about the people that were writing
in the summer of twenty twenty and the Democrats and
(24:41):
the media lying to us about they're mostly peaceful riots
that killed people and billions of property damage and thousands
of injured cops. I'm not allowed to be critical. That's hateful.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
Letting me speak. You're desarting a whole group of people,
and it's not all just the Dems. People people who
disagree and whatever. People disagree with Trump, he either fires
them or he gets rid of them, or he exact retribution.
You know, I was a lifelong Republican and I'm a
(25:13):
born again Christian.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
But I'm the biggest victim of retribution. I would argue,
is Donald Trump really mean?
Speaker 6 (25:19):
You really bringing up You keep bringing up all the
stuff in the past, litigating everything as far back as possible.
Believe me, I think Trump can take care of himself. Yes,
he speaks his mind.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
They tried to put him in jail. They tried to.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
They first they conjured up a Russia hoax that didn't exist.
Then they tried to then they hurt four years of
his presidency by expanding the lie. Then they falsely valuated
mar A Lago, then they rated mar A Lago. Then
they they took a statute of limitations case on a
legal low disclosure and turned it into thirty four felon accounts.
(25:57):
So I mean, but I asked you a specific question.
Give me one example when I've been hateful.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
When you when you promote hate by lumping people together,
you are perpetuating where people talk about a group of
people like the Russians or the black people, or.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
The I don't talk about the Russians or the black people.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
I'm using an example of when you lump people together.
And you know what I mean, you're a smart person.
When you lump people together, you're not reaching across the
aisle to get anyone to cooperate with each other. That's
promoting hate. You can't tell me that the Magis don't
hate the Dams.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I hear.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
It's not that I hate them, I just I think
their policies are destructive. Well, now, look, if you think
if you want me to be somebody I'm not, I
can't do that I'm not going to accept. I don't
believe we're under taxed. I think we're overtaxed. I don't
believe that the government should tell us what cars we
can put in our driveway. I don't think the government
should be telling us what washes are, and dryers and
(27:04):
straws and air condition as we should have you prove it,
I deiver everything.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
You don't really want me to say anything. You want
to keep talking.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I'm Linda.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
I think I've been very fair allowing her to express
her views.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
But she's not being specific. Am I being fair?
Speaker 7 (27:20):
I would ask her to define hate. I think that's
the first problem. I don't think grouping people together and
lumping them together is a true definition of hate.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
No, I mean what if I said, now, ask her, what.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
Is the true definition of hate?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
All right, what's your definition of hate?
Speaker 6 (27:33):
Well? How many people do you get to reach out
to you?
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I feel like you preach to the court.
Speaker 7 (27:39):
That's not an answer. What is your definition of hate?
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Defition of hate is one of your few stories about
a group of people that may not necessarily be true.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
No, that's called a lie. That's called a lie. Hate
is when you ill will we're ill forthcoming on another person.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
That's hate. When have I ever told something that's not true? True?
Give me an example.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
Oh, I'm not talking about whether it's true or not.
I'm just talking about you keep bringing up the past.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
So if I tell well, I bring up the news
every day, and every day you've got radical Democrats that, frankly,
they're the ones saying the most hateful things on earth.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
I can give you examples.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
This is a good example radical Democrats.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
They are radical.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Do you think, Mammy, you just said all the Magas
hate the Dems? What are the Magas? Isn't that lumping
people together? Do you want to move out of the glasshouse.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Like we're tag teaming those poor lady listen, just let
me out her. Look, I feel like we're talking in circles.
I hear what you're saying. I think that you Here's
what I'm going to give you. I'm gonna give you
a homework assignment.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I want you to listen and watch my shows, and
I want you to come up with your list of
examples of specific hate. And I think Linda's definition of
hate was better than yours. And if you think that
I'm hating on somebody, unfairly. Now, if I tell the
truth about either a Democrat or the media, or a
real story that's in the news that is not by
(29:07):
definition hateful, the radicalized Democrats that would institutionalize what I
believe to be Marxism, socialism, Mom Danni's, the Aocs, the
Jasmine Crocketts of the world. If you think that's hateful,
then we just have a political disagreement. That's not hateful. Okay,
(29:27):
so call me back.
Speaker 6 (29:29):
Listen, I will. But how is it helpful when you
keep perpetuating the past?
Speaker 1 (29:35):
That's all, Okay, I bring the past up, but I
also bring it it's relevant to today.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Has to bring up the.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
Past because we have to learn from it if otherwise
we're doomed to repeat it. We're in a cyclical pell.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Like I told you the story, I just got done
explaining how in the summer of twenty twenty all these
riots took place, and the double standard when it comes
to Democrats and their obsession with January. But they didn't
care about the five hundred and seventy four riots. They
called it, we call they called it the Summer of Love,
and they said mostly peaceful. It wasn't mostly peaceful. Americans died,
(30:10):
cops injured, billions in property damage, and that nobody there
was no committee, there was no Liz Chening, no Adam Kinzinger.
That's hypocrisy to me. And my job is to give
you news, information and truth that you're not going to
get from any anybody else, I think in the media,
and I think it's one of the reasons, thanks to
all of you, that I've been somewhat successful. I got
(30:32):
to run. Appreciate the call. Eight hundred nine one, Shawn.
If you want to be a part of the program, the.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
for the final hour Free for All on the Sean
Hannity Shows. Back to our busy phones, tolfree, it is
eight hundred nine four one, Sean. If you want to
join us, tell us what's on your mind? Steve in
the Free State of Florida. Steve, how are you glad
(31:04):
you called?
Speaker 5 (31:06):
I'm good, John, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I had to thank you.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
Thoughts for you. The first was I appreciate what the
Republicans and President Trump are doing, but trying to do
rebates back with the with the tariffs, but I would
much rather, And I know that times are tough, but
I would much rather see those funds go towards our
national debt. We constantly are doing refunds or or doge
(31:34):
is finding money. Why are we not paying that down
so that we can take care of our people better
in the future. I would love to see President Trump
just take that money and say we're paying down X
amount on this national debt.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I'd listen.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I would not mind if we're talking about trillions of
dollars if some of the money went to lower middle
income Americans and the rest went to paying down the debt.
I actually expect and anticipate with the largest tax increase
in history, and energy dominance policies that he's adopted, and
(32:11):
anywhere from what twelve to fifteen trillion dollars in manufacturing investment,
that we're going to see revenues explode. The challenge will
be keeping Congress and control and start paying down the
debt that way. It's very important to me. I don't
want to rob from our children and grandchildren, so I
stand with you. But there are a lot of Americans
(32:33):
that have suffered, you know, for the last four years.
I'd like to give them some relief. Notice, I'm taking
myself out of it. I don't want the money. I
don't need the six hundred dollars. They can keep it, okay,
but give it to people that you know. If family
of for making two hundred and fifty grand a year,
especially in big cities, is not a lot of money,
six hundred thousand dollars would mean a lot to them.
(32:55):
I want to give it to them, and I also
want to stop robbing our kids. I think we can
do both. Believe we can. Okay, Anyway, I do appreciate
it's a very thoughtful call.
